    To prevent hammers or witchcraft? I'll be here in the day when hopefully more have posted?

    There's 1 day, 7 hours and 12 minutes left till day ends.

    I wonder if some of vote spreading is to prevent hammering on witches or what.

    Too tired to actually think that out.

    I agree 3 votes is just way to close to 10 votes for me.

    blab, I've been staring at your post for a while now and I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. Do you even sarcasm.

    brief post before sleep. I don't know what font says was waiting for me, will find and respond to it in the morning.

    fontisian, in a hypothetical world where you're town... spend less time yelling at people and more time convincing them. You have secret reasons and strong gut reads on people. That's great, but no one is going to just go along with you just because you say it really loudly. Especially when you call them 'you fucks' and actively alienate people who could be working with you, like me and Titus.

    If you strongly believe XYZ is town, you should be able to find evidence that you can show people. If you don't want to share your main reason because it's super secret ~reasons~, find other evidence. If someone is town, it will shine through, and you should be able to find something to support it.

    With that said... I do think your comment about Vira was a slip. Yeah, you think replacements are more likely to be scum or whatever. But calling her out for having the thread open in her browser is at pretty much exactly the same level as Sloth refusing to believe Snowvon about posts in his mentor QT last game. In your case, you're framing the issue as you trying to understand Vira's psychology, but the fact you even touch on something like viewing the thread? That's grabbing at any small thing you can find in order to doubtcast her slot.

    I'll decide whether I want to lynch you for it in the morning.

    Polysemous and klackerz: Either respond to my simple, easy to understand questions or explain why you're choosing not to do so.

    Hmmmm.

    Unvote

    Fair enough on not lynching someone Day 1 on a first game.

    Fonti, how many Xanatos Gambits are you making this game?

    Atum, you've got a scum read on Fonts and Bill if I'm reading the thread right. How do you feel about Poly avoiding the lynch, and who are your other suspects?

    Yeah, I agree that it is really hard to tell if that post was sarcasm or not. Given the lack of visual clues I am pushed to discern sarcasm primarily by context and word choice. After an intense analysis I am forced to conclude that I was in fact sarcastic. At what conclusion did you arrive?

    Lucky, can you give me your read on Bill?

    I disagree with Titus on literally everything discussed that is not explictly about the alignment of other players. I have an easier time explaining her logic from scumPOV then from townPOV.
    I actually like her playing, so that solely based on that, she would be in my townreads.
    I don't really have a townread on her, but I have more than 4 people scummier than her.

    @Snowvon:
    How dare you insult my mental faculties!??????!!!!!!!?!?!?! I demand an apology from you right 10 seconds ago.

    Bill? Null, still leaning town. What he has posted I've liked, but he hasn't been around for a bit.

    Posting as I work through the thread. Snipping to post numbers from sheer quantity. Also thanks Sloth for the vote counts!

    Request: Can someone link me to a Bill Door scum game? Please and thanks!

    #241 @Bill Door on Lucky
    I think I believe this. Especially after tunneling Lucky to heaven (heh) and beyond in the Dresden game and receiving a different angle of reaction throughout.

    #242 @Riley
    I don't think Scum!Snowvon would go and throw a post like that with a scumbuddy in it, at least it's not something I remember him doing before

    #243 @Lucky
    Interesting response

    #244 @Riley_Poole
    Umm why was I such a high townread for you relative to some other players below me (Bill Door in particular)?

    #248 @Titus
    Synergy with Snowvon as in reads? Right after saying scum tend to buddy you? How is that not contradictory?

    #251 @Font
    The fuck are you doing with that fishing rod?

    #278 @Lyrium
    Not a witch, though I kinda wanted to roll it and see how a large scumteam feels here. Oh well

    #285 @Ika
    Why would you post something like this before D2?

    #297 @Atum
    You can't figure out his reads, so why not ask him for them?

    #307 @Riley
    Why such a defeatist attitude all of a sudden? Are you worried you'll be lynched or people won't take what you say into consideration or what?

    #308 @Font
    Working off skim reads:
    Lucky harder leans scum
    Polysemous and Atum softer lean scum
    Rubicon null
    Vira lean town.

    #309 @Rubicon
    Lucky is your strongest town read? Why/how?

    #312 @Titus
    Riley did it in B&T as town though. Granted further into the game and with more pressure.

    #321@Font
    Umm would you not expect defensiveness to a fairly direct role fish?

    #336 @Polysemous
    You say it's not because they're voting for you but then you say just go back and read their posts. Looking forward to the later post links (which may have occurred by the time I read this?)

    #338 @Titus
    Your logic is a bit contradictory here. If scum!font gets the bomb, passes it, and scum!bomber blows up a town like you said then it points a huge finger back to font (+ 1 scum role revealed as bomber). There's still useful info, I don't see how it's inferior to passing it to anyone else

    #340 @Font
    Err I'm a he?

    ---------- Post automerged at 03:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:10 AM ----------

    Yeah I'm going to need to continue this tomorrow, I'm not even halfway through the catchup

    @Everyone

    @X usually defines who was talking in the cited post; there's questions sprinkled through for whoever's cited (usually denoted by the English character '?')

    fontisian is scum.

    Mostly because she's a liar and retroactively applied justification to her GD claim thing.

    It's also worth noting with this that she wasn't trying at all to push through a GD claim - If fontisian wants to run a gambit that can catch out scum with near zero risk to town, would her posts during the period the plan is effective (pregame) be what amounts to 4 one-liners (posts 2, 9, 12 and 15)?

    So the retroactive justification thing.

    Fontisian never stresses (or even mentions) that the Gravedigger claim should happen in pregame until after the pregame is over (#38), which was the lynchpin of her supposed plan to catch out a 'newbie scum team unaware of the apprentice'.

    The only thing I can conclude from these events is that she's lying about why she wanted the GD to claim because there's no way the actions she took (basically the bare minimum to make Bill Door* smile and nod) could possibly result in her claimed goal for those actions.

    Also this

    Which is an interesting way of saying 'I was the first person who told the gravedigger to claim'.

    Lynch all liars, lynch fontisian

    ps: why did you roleclaim to me? did you expect that to help?

    * - As far as I know, Bill Door is the only one in this game who would also treat 'GD claims as early as possible' as a given.

    Because it is a better play than no GD claim.

    wtf, I thought 2 games at the same time was hard o_O

    ---------- Post automerged at 12:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 PM ----------

    I don't really want to lynch Fonti for reasons. Day 2/3 I would be less reserved.

    The who is viewing thread thing isnt always accurate. It will show people as viewing for like 15 minutes even if they closed the page.

    @Rubicon: I meant fonti in my last post. I forgot to write the answer to your question about Kai.

    Hmm Vira was suspicious but I don't know about Kai. He hadn't posted significantly till now. I kinda agree with him on fonti. Though then where the fuck does that leave me. >_>

    Snow:Your friendliness makes me paranoid.

    Hmm If I miss any questions, can you repeat it.

    If there are 4 scum and both of the two people you are willing to lynch turn out to be scum who makes up the rest?

    ---------- Post automerged at 01:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 PM ----------

    What on earth does this mean?

    ---------- Post automerged at 01:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:09 PM ----------

    Would you mind pointing out where Riley has been scumhunting?

    Same question as before?

    Here. Tired. [bold]Unvote[/bold] for the sake of not vote spreading at this time.

    Not sure why but the feel I get from thread is that Titus, Kai and ika are tag-teaming fonti. Alliance or coincidental? I hope for the second.

    Font calling me town is scary and I don't like it, mainly because NO ONE calls me town.

    @Citrus: You'll always be higher than Bill because Bill is harder for me to read. Also: more like frustration than defeatist. Titus is stubborn, forms a viewpoint and then drives it into the ground, great way to win, horrible way to play.

    Lucky is being too reasonable at this time, change in playstyle?

    Kai = terrifying always.

    Blab's avatar is funny to me, but I'm sleep deprived, take that as is.

    Mafia Thread Post High Score incoming. (we're almost a fifth of the way there if I remember).

    No vote right now, brain doesn't want to work.
